Never thought I’d make tea from sage but I bought lose sage to burn, but also make tea with. Packed full of anti inflammatory, antioxidant, and other compounds. It’s also obviously useful as incense as I burn it on a charcoal disk for lose incense. Back to the tea. A good cleansing herb that has a spicy flavor like chai and good for your throat too.
Metaphysical uses of wisdom, cleansing, purification, and mental clarity(medicinal effect too).
Rose, Jasmine, Lemon Balm. A good mental pick me up and on the witchy side it’s also a small ritual tea for the Goddess statue in the back. Rose comes in strong on this blend, Jasmine has this soft floral taste and Lemon Balm with some subtle citrus hints.
Chrysanthemum is one of my favorite uplifting teas and today it’s combined with Lemon Balm. So happy vibes and emotional wellbeing. On the non witchy side it has a nice cooling effect on the body. Even as a hot tea it can make you feel cooler on the inside.
Curious as to what’s in your collection of teas. So far I have Green Tea, Gunpowder Green Tea, Puerh Tea, Dandelion, Chrysanthemum, Osmanthus, Rose, Lily(very strong), Tulsi, Meadowsweet, Lemon Balm, Lavender, and Peppermint, Mugwort.
Tulsi is my favorite herb for anxiety and mood. Used as a tea it relaxes me and offers a mellow feeling, on the metaphysical side it’s cleansing and good for spiritual awareness. Also a great tea to use if you want to meditate. Has a clove like flavor.
My new favorite combo. Rose, Gunpowder Green, and Jasmine.
Rose & Lemon Balm might just be my new favorite combo. Rose as a good heart opener and lemon balm for emotional health and wellness. To me it’s also I spiritual blend as the lemon balm used was previously used as a deity offering.
Any humorous interactions with your spirituality as a pagan? For example, I made a little jar gift to Goddess Arianrhod that’s next to other gifts on my altar. It’s a simple jar filled with herbs that I picked out for her and I’ve always felt like remaking it better. So one day I got up and took it off the altar ready to get rid of it and replace it with something better, but I felt a strong voice in my head and it was this:
“Hey! You put that back!” So the little jar remains lol.
Rose, Meadowsweet, and Chrysanthemum. My happiness tea and chrysanthemum is the main herb and our star herb. It has a very nice cooling effect on the body. Mental clarity, creativity, uplifting. Bought locally from an Asian Market.
I often incorporate music in with my spiritual path and this is one piece I often play as an offering. It’s just recorded acoustic set to a video of my Altar.
I do a lot of Tea magic and this time it’s a major request I’m sending out. Rose, Green Tea, and Bay Leaf. Same ingredients to be used in a jar spell.
Attracting a new job…
Because I lost the one I had and it’s my own fault.
Here’s to drinking tea with purpose other than the mundane.
Osmanthus flower purchased locally from an Asian Market. It has a plumb like taste, but very potent so a little goes a long way for taste. The tea blend in the second photo is Rose, Jasmine, and Osmanthus. Besides the nice calming vibes and plenty of healthy benefits, spiritually it represents the moon and good fortune. It’s also great for adding some natural sweetness to teas such as Green Teas, Oolong, Black etc.
Long infusion method used for our sleepy time tea. Magical intentions and energy used. Cool thing I love about herbs other than actual tea leaves is how long you can steep them. This herbal blend of Rose, Lavender, and Jasmine steeped in this jar for at least an hour.
Today’s sleepy tea is Rose, Jasmine, and Lemon Balm. Rose and Jasmine with sedative properties and lemon balm has it too, but its role is more for mood and anxiety.
Having Tea with Goddess Arianrhod is one of my fun spiritual rituals. A lot of my altar is dedicated to her. She picked out the color of her candle holder. Blue.
Good Fortune Tea Magic
Two ingredients that pair nicely. Peppermint for prosperity and great for the lungs. Lemon Balm for success and emotional well being. I used a bit more peppermint than the lemon balm so it would have a strong vapor. If inhaled it gives me a sudden rush of calmness. Also pairs well with honey!
This is a Mellow Vibes type tea with Tulsi as the heaviest used herb. Meadowsweet for peace and Lemon Balm for emotional wellness. It also pairs nicely with cannabis! Due to using a lot of Tulsi, flavor wise it has a clove like roasted taste but with some honey tasted rather good.
Today it’s just Rose on its own. Rose is the first herb that I really got into and started collecting. Packed full of healthy benefits, but my favorite use is for mental health. Calms the nervous system and I find it acts as a calm sedative without making me tired. Packed full of metaphysical uses such as Love, Happiness, Luck, Spiritual, Healing.
Awareness Tea with Rose to open the heart. Tulsi to center the mind and Meadowsweet to bring peace.
On the metaphysical side this tea is good for spiritual connections, awareness, meditation. Tulsi has a strong clove like taste but the rose sweetens a bit on the floral side and meadowsweet to me has a slight mushroom taste.
